I’ve never been this one for new faces to “get” Everton. I think what people take that to be is massively cringeworthy and slightly misplaced.
I do like however, how people like him,Gomes and Mina have been able to relate massively to the fans and local area really quite surprisingly. You see Gomes constantly posting himself in and around the city on social media, Mina getting involved with EitC seemingly of his own volition and Ancelotti already acting like your average fan sat in the lower Gwladys (he’s booked in for double sleeve tattoos next week).
This is a refreshing change from Martinez “getting” Everton by taking everything too far like putting pictures of ex players all over the shop, going overboard on average players and making pretty much every fan cringe after every press conference he did. Also way better than Koeman who went too far the other way.
I liked that Martinez put the effort in to get the club to be honest
Made me feel good as a fan
Shame the actual football management side let him down like
